Quantity, Quality, then Quantity

It just occured to be that "quantity, quality, then quantity" is the proper strategic sequence to aim for:

1. Quantity: do lots and lots of experiments, try everything, do all things, fail as fast as you can (Michael Dell and IBM founder Thomas Watson both recommend failing fast)

2. Quality: spot and keep the quality outcomes, and work on those to refine them further.

3. Quantity: finally, you will get followers or customers or fans.
